Washington. Expectant moms who ate the most fish—more than three servings a week—were 30 percent more likely to have children with higher developmental scores at 18 months of age compared with those whose mothers ate less than a serving a week. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has published a new Harvard University study regarding this.

The study said that the women from Denmark weren’t choosing Shark or king mackerel (known for their high mercury content) but instead ate low-mercury varieties common in their region: cod, salmon, herring, and smaller species of mackerel. 

Tuna is not a High-Mercury fish:

Tuna is a low-mercury fish, compared to most seafood varieties enjoyed by Americans. And it brings probably the best bargain of omega-3 fatty acids per dollar of any fish in the sea.

A remarkable report from the Center for Consumer Freedom recently found that America’s poorest children were being denied the IQ benefits of omega-3s because of an irrational fear of tuna.
